So Much For A Health Care Bounce In The Polls
Friday, April 2, 2010 at 9:55AM When a liberally biased news outfit like CBS shows your poll numbers hitting an all-time low, you know things aren't going well:
(CBS News) - Last week, President Obama signed historic health care reform legislation into law -- but his legislative success doesn't seem to have helped his image with the American public.
The latest CBS News Poll, conducted between March 29 and April 1, found Americans unhappier than ever with Mr. Obama's handling of healthcare - and still worried about the state of the economy.
President Obama's overall job approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 44 percent, down five points from late March, just before the health bill's passage in the House of Representatives. It's down 24 points since his all-time high last April. Forty-one percent of those polled said they disapproved of the president's performance.
More results from this CBS News Poll will be released in Friday's broadcast of the Evening News with Katie Couric, which airs at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
When it comes to health care, the President's approval rating is even lower -- and is also a new all-time low. Only 34 percent approved, while 55 percent said they disapproved.

Well i know that someplace in this world a little Old Organ Grinder stands with a tin cup
and a Phillip Morris little red cap in his hand, looking for someone to fill a vacancy...You
must have a resume ready and a 'wanna be dictator' may be low on his list Mr. President..
But have no fear for you can always find a sucker in a big enough crowd, just look at the
miraclel you pulled off in 2008.....
If Obama had Clinton's political instincts he would pivot to public opinion. Instead, he'll dig in his heels and continue his direction toward his socialist agenda. Hopefully, this will seal his fate as the worst one-term president in our history.
